Abstract
An apparatus for mass spectrometry includes a plate on which a semiconductor wafer including an organic matter is disposed. A hybrid provider provides a ZnO-graphene hybrid to a predetermined region on the semiconductor wafer. A mass analyzer detects the organic matter in the predetermined region using laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (LDI-MS).
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
